Yeah, see, I need someone who lives around here to tell me which doctors they love.

Chirpy is right, this doctor is nice, but I have no attachment to her. I don't love her.

I feel like they must have bathrooms for urine samples, but maybe only in the back?

I live in the city, so although I currently drive 5 min to the doctor, I would be ok with going farther. This convenience is nice but I know there are probably plenty of other great doctors only slightly farther away. I just don't know HOW to find them.

Ask around. I would start with church people or people with a similar style/belief as you. Ask who they use, what they think of them, and why. You'll figure out who to avoid and maybe find a better fit for you.

Took a kiddo to the ENT today. I hate that doctor's office at least as much as I love my own. I get SO frustrated every time we go in there. I will be so glad when I have the ability to change offices.

We use family Doctors (instead of peds) and I've been happy with them. Our first one, I interviewed him before deciding on going with him. Made sure we liked him (the office did think it was werid btw). Since then (we moved), I've just choosen one. I think we very been lucky. When dr#2, was leaving they area, I asked her about her replacement. She actually let me know that she didn't think we would be happy with the replacement, so we switched practices. Then next place they had a great web site with lots of information about the drs and even videos/interviews. I choose from there and have been happy.

If you don't have local mom friends, you could just google what practices are nearby, then read up on their policies and such and reviews, then look at individual doctors within a practice that suits you.

I originally asked my midwives for their recommendations. Later went with ped who followed up with my newborns after jaundice discharges, switching once but going back to that one after the second one relocated, and am very happy with him.
